Abstract:

This study aims to determine the effect of giving the pasak bumi on behaviour (daily and sexual) and the level of feed intake male timor deer in captivity. The study was conducted in captive deer, Forest Research Dramaga Bogor, using a latin square design with four (4) treatment doses pasak bumi that is, R0 (0 mg), R1 (3000 mg), R2 (5000 mg) and R3 (7000 mg). The study using four male timor deers. Provision of pasak bumi is doing for four (4) each period for 10 consecutive days. To find out the behavioral effects of sexual libido, each paired with a treatment stag timor deer one female at the end of the pasak bumi administration (10 days).
The results showed there is no significant difference (P>0.05) on the daily behavior and male sexual timor deer. During the study, the average length of deer rest time without giving pasak bumi (R0) was 4,13 ± 0,25 hours, while the deer are given examples of the pasak bumi (R1, R2 and R3) showed the same an average length of rest periods is 4,25 ± 0,5 hours. The same thing is shown in the average length of time in which the consumption of deer control (R0) showing a long feeding behaviour during 4,88 ± 0,25 hours, while for a given doses of R1, R2 and R3 indicate the length of time to eat the same behaviour is, 4,75 ± 0,25 hours.
Although the results of statistical analysis is not showing the differences influence significantly (P>0.05), but the observation result showing that there are differences influence relatively for giving pasak bumi doses of male sexual behavior timor deer in captivity. Grins on the behavior (flehmen), grinning at the highest frequency shown in the 3000 mg dose (13,13 ± 9,76 times) and decreased at a dose of 5000 mg (10,55 ± 12,66 times) and 7000 mg (9,53 ± 12,73 times). Ranggah rubbing behavior (rutting), its frequency increases with increasing doses of the dose of 3000 mg as many as 23,60 ± 29,66 times), 5000 mg dose of as much as 28,80 ± 31,34 times and decreased at a dose of 7000 mg which is 22,80 ± 40,75 times. On approaching the behaviour of females, the frequency was increased with increasing dose of pasak bumi row 0 mg (R0) as much as 0 time, at a dose of 3000 mg (R1) is 15 ± 1,87 times, the dose of 5000 mg (R2) is 19 ± 2,75 times, and the dose of 7000 mg (R3) of 23 ± 2,87 times. Frequency behaviour of the female genitalia seen kissing the fluctuation increases then decreases at higher doses, is the treatment 1/dosis 0 mg (R0) 0 times, treatment 2 (3000 mg-R1) is 28 ± 13 times, the treatment 3/dosis 5000 mg (R2) is 24 ± 3 times, the treatment 4/dosis 7000 mg (R3) is 46 ± 5,75 times. On behavior mounting the frequency of females was increased with increasing dose of the pasak bumi row 0 mg (R0) as much as 0 time, at a dose of 3000 mg (R1) is 7 ± 3,87 times, the dose of 5000 mg (R2) is 31 ± 4,63 times, and the dose of 7000 mg (R3) of 37 ± 5,37 times. Judging from the average amount of feed intake, the results show that feed increases as increasing doses of the earth peg consecutive dose of 3000 mg of 5,38 ± 0,22 kg
stag pasak bumi fed with 5000 mg which is 5,86 ± 0,84 kg and at doses of 7000 mg amount of feed intake more that 6,08 ± 1,18 kg.
